Carolina Country Cover-palooza

A look back at a dozen cover shots, including your favorite

At Carolina Country magazine, we sort through a lot of photos, thanks to submissions from our readers, our electric cooperatives, and NC-based pro photographers. But the photo that makes the cover must say “Carolina Country” in some way. We look for something local, seasonal, feature-related, timely, well lit, intriguing, co-op-relevant—so many boxes to check. Sometimes the whole staff is on board with a cover, but other times opinions are split. Ultimately we set the bar high to try and please our cooperative members.

Take a look at our collection of this year's cover photos. How do you think we did in 2017? Let us know in the comments below.
